The Amex Mercedes-Benz Plat has been discontinued. All former MP Plat card have been converted into regular Amex Platinums.

The Amex Mercedes-Benz Plat has all the same benefits as the Amex Plat.

Differences:
Annual fee is $495 $475 instead of $450
$100 Worthless gift certificate for in dealership overpriced tchotchkas from Mercedes-Benz
Link (You cannot use the Certificate online)
(Edit from ae123: Overpriced yes, but not worthless....watches, travel mugs, ice bags, caps, etc.)
You can get a $200 reimbursement for some airline spends, once every calender year.
Global Entry $100 Fee Credit - Global Entry is the US government’s expedited immigration program for frequent travelers. It costs $100 and is good for 5 years.

+1 You actually have to hand over the certificate to them with your signature, so i don't think online purcases would work

Do they check your name to see the cert was issued to you?

Hmmm i don't remember them looking at the name, and even if they did, its not like they even asked me to identify myself so why would it matter who's name is on it?

Just got my $100 cert today, and i noticed a duffel bag for $70 on the website, i guess I'll call the dealership near me tomorrow to see if they carry it. Shame these can't be used for online purchases

@ Ashero, maybe you can get your chase banker something with this cert? I noticed they had some holiday gifts

i read through the first few pages and browsed the rest here plus i browsed the amex plat 200 credit thread
and i didnt see it mentioned
originally i thought the $100 credit to mb dealer replaced the $200 airline credit based on what i read earlier in the thread
but when i tried registering it said i was eligible

I just spent my cert at the MB dealer in Manhattan, what a waste if time! A bunch of overpriced bags, key chains, watches..whatever.

Just curious if they were suppose to charge me tax on the cert?
